A Tale of Two Laces

Hello knitters,
I'm usually all take and no give on knitalongs, but I thought this time I'd be a bit more sociable. I'm Ailsa in Australia. My first lace project was the 2005 mystery shawlalong, I did the second one and have been unable to stop knitting lace ever since.

I've started this project twice. Once on South West Trading Companies' infinity soysilk - it was going so well. Then I noticed a glitch in the line of decreases about ten rows down. Trying to fudge it without pulling the whole repeat section back to that row didn't work, so I sort of had a little tantrum and frogged it all back to the cone. And that was the end of that.

In the meantime, while I was deciding whether to frog or fudge (or what I should have done - fix), I started again on some zephyr I had laying around. For a short moment I thought I might knit two of them at the same time, but then I woke up.

So, there's the tale of two laces. I tried to upload a picture but am unfamiliar with this format and got a 'your file is too large' message. Any advice on this would be good, but until I sort this out they're on the blog.

I'm enjoying this knit, I like the rhythm the 99 stitch row has, a change from the ever increasing rows on shawls. Everone's progress pics are very motivating too; more please!

Twice??? And they're both gorgeous on your blog...I've been too timid to try Infinity, but it does swatch nicely, doesn't it?
Re: the images. If you have a photo editing program, you can resize them each to about 400 px width and they should load up easily but retain enough detail.
